More Shadow Scholar

A few days ago I posted a link to a popular article in the Chronicle called the Shadow Scholar. One of my friends sent it around an email list, which prompted an inquisitive colleague of mine ("Garret") to solicit their services, just as an experiment.

In his own words:

I went online and found several sites that write papers for students - even Ph.D. dissertations!. I was intrigued, so I wrote in asking to see if they could write a term paper for me on the topic that one of my Ph.D. students (name deleted) is looking at "use of energy functions to evaluate structural integrity of ancestral proteins estimated under Likelihood using IID models"

They just replied this morning. :-0)

Their reply:
